We live in a converted barn and will be putting it on the market soon. There are quite a few rooms with open eaves and in one section the height floor to ceiling is around 6m, we clean out the cobwebs occasionally but can never get right to the top, anyone know if there's a simple solution like a super extendable duster?

a very quick google and the longest I could see was 94" - could you buy one of those and then extend it yourself with some ali pipe and some duct tape?

My dad has similar height ceilings in a couple of his rooms and uses a duster attached to an extendable paint roller pole.

You need a pole, but a latvian or romainan would do.

sorry..

Telescopic window cleaning pole with a duster attached to the end?

They go to around 5m so should do the trick.

Look for unger window cleaning stuff. I have their extendible pole that will reach first floor gutters - add a ladder onto that you should be there I would think

This pole

Plus the cobweb attachment, add a platform step ladder, your own height and arms length should do it?

Exactly what I was thinking, e.g....
Extension pole + tape + feather duster

Proper PH response. Easily the best solution offered.

Extra man points for using drone to carry pressure washer hose. Will require some serious flight skills.

Helium balloon on a long enough string, cover the top with those lint catchers that you put into the tumble dryer.

I have used a length of 22mm waste pipe + tape+ to a Henry vacuum cleaner hose.
